Horrible school, the principal can't stand criticism and turns nasty. These one of the schools I ever heard of constantly lowering kids' grades without purpose to show the progress at the end of the school year. No teaching curriculum, all teachers have their own plan of work, unsupported teaching, overcrowded, old and simply undermanager. Bottom like they do not care about.your kid or anything related. Sad.

Unorganized, teachers do not teach and rely on parents to do that at home by finishing homework and projects, teachers and principal are not nice, could start raising their voice on parents and kids, humiliate and simply been mean. School is old, dirty, not taken cared at all.
